[NOTICE] Archiving Releases

[Robert Burrell Donkin <rd...@apache.org>]

incubator releases now need to be distributed using the standard apache
system. new releases will need to be mirrored and uploaded to
www.apache.org/dist. see
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#release-distribution for more details. please post questions about the new process on general.

as part of this process, i'm archiving all existings releases from
people.apache.org to archive.apache.org. redirects will ensure that
existing URLs do not need to be changed. 

i see that abdera has releases in
people.apache.org/dist/incubator/abdera. unless anyone jumps in, i plan
to archive these in the near future. i'll stay subscribed for to this
list till sunday 13th so if anyone has any questions about the archiving
process please reply to this email.

hopefully the release distribution documention should be done by then

i've copied the abdera releases to the archives and added .htaccess
redirect. it will take a few hours for these changes to be sync'd to
live. please take a look tomorrow and check that your links work ok.
unless someone jumps in with issues, i plan to delete the originals on
sunday leaving just the archived releases.

So long as the redirects are in place, this shouldn't be a problem. We 
will, in the not too distant future, be looking to cut the 0.4.0 release 
anyway.
